Of their political convictions. AS society
influences politics to much greater de-
gree in England than in this country, it
will readily be seen that the social crusade
against Home Rule is an influence to be
reckoned with. But the very great growth
of popular feeling on the other side will
counteract it before long, if the present
signs prove true.-[Boston Post.

In the last issue of the Messenger the an
nouncement is made that on or about the
10th of June the Messenger will be moved
to Wilmington and made daily. We un-
derstand that the citizens of Wilmington
have formed joint stock company, of

capital stock will be $35, 900, all paid up.

him and his great paper:

portions of Harnett, Johnston, Wilson,
Wayne and Wake, and he can testify that
he never saw better stand Of cotton, the
the chief staple of these counties. The
people talk hopefully and encouragingly
and are in the best spirits. They are
working as never before, and there is a
spirit of determination to make a big crop

are living, too, as economically as it Is

The establishment Of National Univer-
slty in Washington is not considered nee
esSary, but what is needed" says Prof
Adams. sin all our States and in the Ma
tons Capital is the promotion of the
higher political education in practical
ways. the need being as great for special
knowledge in civil science as in military
and naval science.
1t is suggested that at the proposed
celebration Of the centennial of the inarg-
uraton of the Constitution of the United
States, to be held in Washington in April,
1889, there could hardly be more ap-
propriate mode of creating a perpetual
memorial of our Federal Constitution than
by nationalizing at Washington and every
where promoting throughout the indi-
vidual States that system of education in
good citizenship which made the Virginia
plan a possibility which trained up such
public men as George Washington, Ed
mund Randolph. John Blair. George
Mason, Professor George Wythe, Professor
James McClury, and James Madison, the
seven members of the Virginia delegation,
OF whom at least six were in some way, as
aiumnus, professor, or overseer, connected
with the old College of William and Mary,
that school of Jefferson and of American
statesmen
These suggestions have attracted the
attention of several prominent officials in
Washington and some steps have already
been taken l,e king towards their practical
realization.
1t is not often that government publ-
cations can be recommended as interesting
reading, but this monograph, written by
one of the most distinguished historical
scholars in America, is an exception to
the general rule. Several practical educa-
tlonal questions, not noticed in this re-
view, are ably dis ;ussed and those inter
ested in the higher education will find it
instructive as we'll as intertaining

THE ROSEBUD OF NORTH CARO-

[Hon. Robt. Strange in N. c. Speaker.]
Would you. gather garland of beauty
Yo4 should wander at dawn or by pale
moonlight,
While the breeze is fresh on the opening
Or their leaves are moist with the dewey
showers:
One Rose you should gather, and gladly
entWlne her,
The soft opening Rose bud of North Caro-
lima.
Nay, go where you will, over mountain or
plain,
In country or sity where gay fashions reign
Wherever Columbia's daughters are found
Fair blossoms of beauty are scattered around,
The fresh blooming Rose bud of North Car
olina.
In gay, festive halls, where the music is
And beauties, like blossoms in fresh gar
lands meet,
Where light, like a food, is poured over the
scene,
And fragrance floats around, as where roses
have been:
The chief place of all, every eye will assign
her,
The beautiful Rosebud of North Carolina
In homes quiet scene, where the heart loves
to dwell,
Mid joys that no tongue to a stranger can
tell
Whatever the life you are destined to live,
One blossom is needed, her fragrance to give:
Go gather that blossom, and nevt resign her,
The sweet, gentle Rose bud of North Caro-
lima
When sickness and sorrow shall visit your
home,
Sad guests, though unbidden, that surely
will come,
To have by your pillow a blossom like this
Will make cen your death-bed region of
Her presence makes the soul each moment
The pale dropping Rosebud of North Car
olina.

A laborer who was employed at
building in course of erection in the
town of C found on getting up one
morning, that he had slept too long.
He put on his clothes as quickly as pos
sible, but in his hurry he put the back
of his trousers to the front, put his belt
around them and went away to work
without discovering the mistake. On
taking hod of bricks up ladder he
missed his footing. and fell with crash
to the ground. Some of the work
men, hearing the noise, came running
up, and lifting him to his feet, inquired
if he was hurt. and he, looking down

Growing Fast the Wrong Way.

Bv the recent census Manitoba has
les. 60 people. In 1881 the Territories
were found TO contain 1862. Thus
the total for population of Manitoba
and the Northwest is $4,000. In 1888
the government estimated it at 203,-
1872. in 1854 at 24S, 1902 These figures
were based on returns of the Immigra-
ton Depart ment. 1t appears, there
fore, that 9l.l02 settlers have been
lost, to say nothing of the increase
that should have occurred by birth.
BY the census of 1881 Manitoba had
IS, 954. the Territories were credited
with SO, 446, a total of l22. 400 people.
In years Manitoba has gained but

shows great charity for stock, as often
she has been known to take the
young calves, colts. chickens, and ducks

but not wishing to grieve his wife by a
downright refusal, he determined to
give her an object lesson in the fnan-
